I believe this is off-topic here ...Anyway (backup your data before running the script, or just change /mv /to /cp/):
awk 'END { close(fn); system("mv " fn " " ofn) } FNR == 1 { if (fn) { close(fn); system("mv " fn " " ofn) } print "unrecoverable" > (fn = FILENAME "__new") ofn = FILENAME } { sub(/infile \47/, "&/DDUMPS/sybase_dump/out/DATACITI_MASTER/Oracle/") /into table/ && $0 = "append " $0; print > fn }' *.ctl Use /gawk/, /nawk /or/ /usr/xpg4/bin/awk/ on /Solaris/. Do not use //usr/bin/awk/ on /Solaris /:) The /Perl /version would be shorter, but you want /AWK /:) Regards Dimitre
